PurplePTSD works in partnership with Vikings Territory, similarly doing their utmost to offer top-notch coverage of the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, we’re promoting five of their top articles of the past month in “The P/PTSD Perspective.” Take a peek at some of their best stuff.

The P/PTSD Perspective: September 12th, 2026

1) Vikings Get Some Honest Words from Packers HC Matt LaFleur: Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur has proven to be a very good coach. Seeing him push his team to the playoffs yet again would be an act of coaching wizardry given that Wisconsin’s top football team has had a poor offseason.

2) Vikings Release Safety, NFL Blocks Signing, Draft Pick Heads to Houston: GM Nolan Teasley does say that roster building is something that’s always going on. He’s not wrong. Check out the recent list of moves from the Vikings’ front office to understand how things went.

3) Vikings Bring Edge Rusher Back to the Squad: Well, the Vikings did try. Kenny Dyson isn’t a formidable presence from the perspective of his physical build. However, he proved effective out there, largely due to a slick rip move, allowing him to create pressure. Can the Vikings find a way to bring him back after some time?

4) Kyler Murray Gets Vote of Confidence from Legendary Tight End: Every little bit of encouragement helps, I suppose. But, to be sure, the external opinion(s) doesn’t matter too much. What’s going to be of huge significance is the real level of play on the football field. Sunday will therefore be exciting.

5) Kyler Murray’s ‘Character Concerns’ Have Reemerged: Again, it does not matter what people are saying. Rather, what matters is how Murray conducts himself over the long haul. Murray can silence a lot of doubters if he shines in 2026 and onward.
